Week 6 (Blood and Vessels) Flashcards

1
Q

Differentiate between plasma, platelets, red and white blood cells

A
  • Plasma flows through the bloodstream, transporting nutrients, hormones, and waste.
  • Platelets rush to wounds, forming clots and aiding in healing.
  • Red blood cells ferry oxygen throughout the body, sustaining life.
  • White blood cells vigilantly defend against invaders, maintaining immunity.

Match the word to the statements

contains haemoglobin

A

erythrocyte

25
Q

Match the word to the statements

stimulates “making” of erythrocytes

A

erythropoietin

26
Q

Match the word to the statements

forms a temporary plug to stop bleeding

A

platelets

27
Q

Blood Type O antigen membrane and antibodies in plasma

A

Antigen: Neither
Antibodies: A and B

28
Q

why might patients suffering from kidney disease be anaemic

A

less erythropoietin

29
Q

Blood Type A antigen membrane and antibodies in plasma

A

Antigen: A
Plasma: B

30
Q

Blood Type B antigen membrane and antibodies in plasma

A

Antigen: B
Plasma: A

31
Q

Blood Type AB antigen membrane and antibodies in plasma

A

Antigen: AB
Plasma: Neither

32
Q

O ( No A or B antigen) DONATED

Antigen in RECIPIENT plama.

O
A
B
AB (no A or B antibody)

A

O = yes
A = yes
B = yes
AB = no

33
Q

AB ( A or B antigen) DONATED

Antigen in RECIPIENT plama.

O
A
B
AB (no A or B antibody)

A

O = no
A = no
B = no
AB = yes

34
Q

Why is blood type O often described as the universal donor?

A

No A or B antigen on RCB to be attacked by A or B antibody in plasma if recipient.

35
Q

A ( A antigen) DONATED

Antigen in RECIPIENT plama.

O = a and b
A
B
AB (no A or B antibody)

A

O = no
A = yes
B = no
AB = yes

36
Q

B ( B antigen) DONATED

Antigen in RECIPIENT plama.

O
A
B
AB (no A or B antibody)

A

O = no
A = no
B = yes
AB = yes

37
Q

Why blood group AB often described as the universal recipient

A

Lacks a and b antibodies in plasma (reciepnt)
Therefore will not agglutinate incoming donated RBC with A or B antigen

38
Q

Why is it preferable to not give rhesus positive blood to a rhesus negative individual

A
  • First exposure: Rhesus negative individual will form antibodies to Rh antigen on donated RBC
  • Second exposure: Rhesus negative individuals plasma antigens will agglutinate rhesus positive RBC donated
39
Q

How does the anatomy and physiology of the radius and radial artery facilitate the taking of a radial pulse?

A
  • Radial artery parallel to radius
    Compress artery against bone allows detection of arterial pressure wave from heart
  • Muscular tunica media of artery extends pressure wave through arterial circulation
40
Q

Name one mineral and one fat-soluble vitamin that is required for normal blood clotting

A
  • Calcium
  • Vitamin K (microbiota, greens, grains, meat)
41
Q

Almost Half of our vitamin K is synthesised by our microbial in the colon. How could a prescribed long-term brand-spectrum antibiotic be the cause of frequent nose bleeds?

A
  • Liver uses vitamin K to synthesis four blood clotting factors (blood coagulation)
42
Q

Name the 3 stages of haemostasis

A
  • Vasospam
  • Platelet plug
  • Blood coagulation (via fibrin formation)
43
Q

what inflammation of the tunica internal and media reduce or increase the flexibility and lumen size of a blood vessel

A
  • reduce therefore decrease blood flow
